## Marketplaces for human creators

**Instagram creator marketplace.** In February 2024 Meta said it planned to invite creators and brands in India. Brands join through Meta Business Suite. Meta's announcement states no fee, so check your account for access.

**Collabstr.** You can search by platform, niche, location and follower count, then hire from a profile. The free plan adds a 10% fee on each order. Pro is $249 a month billed yearly.

**Insense.** You can filter creators by platform, location, category, age and gender. Plans include links to Meta partnership ads. Creator payments are extra, and Brand carries a 10% marketplace fee.

**JoinBrands.** Free pay-as-you-go with a 15% platform fee. Paid plans start at $99 a month. UGC videos start at $25.

**Billo.** Billo's own post of 9 Oct 2026 says videos start at $99. Its pricing page needs a login.

## An India-based team

**Grynow.** An influencer marketing agency with an address in Gurugram. Its site describes paid, barter, UGC and affiliate campaigns in India and the UAE. For more firms, see the [best UGC agencies in India](/best/best-ugc-agencies-in-india).

## AI UGC tools

**MakeUGC.** Lists 300+ AI actors and 50+ languages on Starter. Its page says any plan costs $1 to try.

**Creatify.** The free plan gives 10 credits a month, with a watermark. Standard is $15 a month, or $12 billed yearly.

AI actors suit fast hook tests. Real creators suit proof and reviews. See [AI UGC vs human UGC](/compare/ai-ugc-vs-human-ugc) and [how to make AI UGC videos](/guides/how-to-make-ai-ugc-videos).

## A worked example

Say creators charge you INR 5,000 a video and you buy 4 in a month. On Collabstr Free that is INR 20,000 plus a 10% fee of INR 2,000, so INR 22,000, or INR 5,500 a video.

On Insense Brand billed yearly, you pay the same INR 20,000 and INR 2,000 fee, plus the $400 plan. At INR 85 to the dollar that is INR 34,000. The total is INR 56,000, or INR 14,000 a video. A plan fee only pays off when you buy many videos.

## How to choose

1. Buy two or three videos before you commit to a plan.
2. Brief in the language your buyer speaks. See [how to find UGC creators in India](/guides/how-to-find-ugc-creators-in-india).
3. Add every cost: creator pay, platform fee, product shipping and edits.

We make Marxx. Its production canvas publishes to Meta. It also reads your connected Meta ad account in full, with fatigue shown now and within 7 days, so you can see which UGC ads are wearing out.

## FAQ

### Is there a UGC platform made only for India?

Of the platforms above, Grynow is the one with an Indian address on its site. The others are global, and you can filter creators by location.

### How much do Indian UGC creators charge?

Prices differ by creator, length and rights, and the platforms above do not publish an Indian average. Get quotes from two or three creators for the same brief.

### Can I run a creator's video as my own ad?

Yes, if your rights allow it. You can also run the creator's own post as a partnership ad. See [what partnership ads are](/glossary/partnership-ads).
